Exit Through The Gift Shop

First off, just woke up from a 12-hour nap after surviving a 48-hour study binge and two tests. Feeling refreshed. Shit, it's 3:00 A.M. (C.). What to do?

With the Academy Awards coming up on Sunday night, one of the most talked about films has been “Exit Through the Gift Shop.” The LA Times ran an article that sheds some light on the man behind the curtain. The nominated documentary, which is supposedly directed by the elusive graffiti artist Banksy, has raised a lot of curiosity. He is never identified in the film, yet there is speculation that the main star, Thierry Guetta, is actually Banksy. Banksy has insisted that the film is legit, but are you really going to take the word of a street artist? Think about it, why would he give up his pseudonym now? Plus, this dude is still taggin' shit all over LA. His latest work is titled "Crayon Foreclosure."
